- 50g Spam (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 eggs
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese
- A little bonito flakes (katsuobushi)
- Mayonnaise to taste
Rice Seasoning- A little sesame oil

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients needed for your fold-and-eat kimbap. Slice the Spam for easy pan-frying and prepare the eggs by making them into an omelet or scrambled eggs. Ensure the rice is warm.
Step 2
Add fragrant sesame oil and a pinch of salt to the warm rice. Gently mix with a spatula to ensure even seasoning without clumping the rice grains. Finally, sprinkle in some whole or crushed sesame seeds for an extra nutty flavor.
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced Spam and cook until golden brown on both sides. Once the Spam fat renders, pour in the beaten eggs to create a thick omelet. This step ensures your fillings are deliciously cooked.
Step 4
Just like the fried Spam, cut the cooked egg omelet into pieces similar in size and shape to the Spam. Matching the size of your ingredients will make the kimbap look neat and easier to eat once folded.
Step 5
Place the kimbap seaweed sheet shiny-side down. Using scissors, cut from the center of the horizontal edge to the center of the vertical edge in one swift motion. This will divide the seaweed into four sections, forming the key shape for your fold-and-eat kimbap!
Step 6
Spread a thin layer of the seasoned rice over the cut seaweed. Arrange the fried Spam and sliced egg omelet on top of the rice in sequence. Place the torn cheddar cheese on one section of the rice, and sprinkle bonito flakes and mayonnaise on the other section. Once all ingredients are placed, carefully fold the seaweed layer by layer in one direction, like folding a screen.
Step 7
After folding the kimbap layers, cut the entire roll in half crosswise into manageable portions. This cut will reveal the colorful fillings inside, making it look even more appealing.
Step 8
Arrange the cut fold-and-eat kimbap attractively on a plate. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a little more bonito flakes on top or drizzle mayonnaise in a zigzag pattern for a more impressive presentation. Enjoy your delicious creation as a delightful brunch or a special snack!
